ELSIE JEAN DALYELL, 1881-1948), pathologistShe joined Lady Wimborne's Serbian Relief Fund unit which went to Skopje (Uskub) to help with the typhus epidemic in 1915. Rather to her annoyance, she was safe at the Addington Park war hospital, Croydon, when Skopje was overrun by the Bulgarians in October. In 1916 she joined the Scottish Women's Hospitals for Foreign Service unit at Royaumont, France, and afterwards enlisted with the Royal Army Medical Corps, serving in Malta and Salonika, Greece. Early in 1919 she went to Constantinople to deal with cholera, and in June was appointed O.B.E.; she had been twice mentioned in dispatches. picture no.1 https://www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/7653427712/Contributed by:
